Time on my hands

[Posted Wed evening at a rest area outside Omaha.]

I'm sitting in Kansas City waiting for my trailer to get loaded. I figured it would be a fairly quick turn around because I got backed into the loading bay well before 9:00 a.m., but these are big city union guys, so it's now almost 1:00 p.m. and I'm still waiting. The load only goes just north of DesMoines and it looked like I could do two drops in a single day--that's like an extra day's pay at the end of the week, but that's out of the question now.

On the bright side, I finished one essay and started another essay for my web site and I got this note done for the blog. Now all I need is an internet connection to upload this.

I was listening to NOAA's weather radio this morning and they said that Kansas City temps have been above normal every day since Dec. 22. It's a record. The month of January has been 15 degrees warmer than normal. That's a lot!

I've been in an ice storm and a snow storm this January in Kansas City, so it's not like it's the tropics or anything, but it looks like it's going to hit 60 today and I can live with that.
